Scenic value is an important determinant of real estate value, and it is the critical factor as regards the price of recreational and residential property. The signi cance of this factor is often marginalized in favor of location. Nonetheless, location and, to be more precise, its quality, is largely determined by the esthetic value of the surrounding space. Scenic features signi cantly contribute to the prices quoted on local property markets. The presence of greenery, forests, water and the arrangement of those spatial features directly a ect buyer a itudes and the value of property.There are various methods for representing scenic value and its in uence on the remaining spatial phenomena. The most convenient method are isolines which connect points of equal numeric value.Maps of esthetic values which present the existing condition of the landscape as the vector sum of all scenic components are rarely developed. Most analyses investigate constituent elements (water, forest, land elevation, etc.), and landscape maps which are land cover maps are created based on photographs (aerial, satellite), and they do not account for eld observations. Scenic a ractiveness is determined by one or more natural elements because the spontaneous presence of all desired features is sporadically noted. It should be stressed than not all landscape functions are represented at a given place and time.
MethodologyThe correlation between scenic value and real estate function has an obvious e ect on property prices. A varied landscape with elevation di erences, a high share of forests and lakes is the preferred se ing for residential and recreational areas.
